; AMP STANDARDANID SHADE HOLDER.

"Be it known that 1, JAMES Rosn, afcitizen of the United States, residing at Lancaster,

in -the county" of- Lancaster and State of ards! and Shade'Holders,

1 lowing is'a specification.

- parts being frame is closed.

Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Satan'dof which the fol- 'This invention relates to standards and shade holders for lamp's,iand is particularly intended-for use in connection with electric lights. V

The object which I have in view is to provide .a standardand shade holder ofsuch construction as to permit of the .ready folding of the shade holder inorder to adapt the I same for packing in a-small compass for shipment orfor storagein a smallspace.

A further objectis to provide anarticle of the kind described of a construction permitting the, ready attachment and detachment of a shade of suitable fabric, in order that the appearance may be changed at will.

With theseobjects in view the invention consists of the standard and shade holder having the generic andspecific features of construction and arrangement of the parts substantially as hereinafter described and clalmed.

j The invention'is illustrated in the acco-me panying drawing in which: 7

Figure 1 is a side view of the device in position for use; Fig. 2 is a side view showshowing the shade shipping and a portion of the frame removed, the shown in the position assumed to spread a shade to the fullest extent; and, Fig. 5 isa view of the frame showing the positions assumed by the parts when the In this drawing which may be of any suitable material, be-

ing preferably in order to adapt it for the purposes of the invention of hollow metal. Formed with or attached to the lower por- "tion of the standard 1 isa base 2 the size of 'which is such as to give stability .to. the structure which rests upon it.

Fixed to the standard-near the upper end thereof is a diskor ring 3, and attached to I: 1' the outer edge of such disk or or pivot 10111138 4 are a series of arms 5. Lo-

cated a suitable distance below the disk 3 1sa second, disk 6 which is provided with an opening permitting itsjfree sliding up and down on the standard 1. The standard is provided with a spring catch 7 movable into and out'of the standard, and so located as" to bear upon the upper face of the disk 6 when the latter isin an elevated position.

Connected each at one end to the disk 6 and at the other end'tothe' arms '5, are a series of braces 8 which serve to move the arms up and down on their joints as the disk is moved up or down on the standard to bringthe arms to an upper or raised position, or to move them to ,positionssubstantially parallel to the standard.

r The cover 9 of anysulta-ble material, preferably of ornamentalfabric is securedto the upper end of thestandard 10 which projects above the disk 3, and to the outer ends of the arms 5, by sewing or in any suitable way,

which permits of the ready removal of one cover and the substitution of another.

Projecting from the-standard at points be tween the disks 3 are hollow arms '11 the openings in which communicate with the opening in the standard 1. Located on these arms of which there may be any suitable number are the sockets 12 into which are placed the ends of incandescent or other electric bulbs13.

A suitable electric conductor 14 is connected with the sockets 12 in any suitable way as by passing the same up through the hollow standard and'through the arms 11 to the sockets.

The respective diameters of the disks 3 and 6 are such that when the disk 6 is lowered on the standard bringing down the arms .5 and the cover connected therewith to positions substantially parallel with the standard, the arms and parts connected therewith are maintained in positions free fromthe sockets and lights. Thus the structure may be folded to occupy a space of a diameter corresponding to that of the larger within the area of the base, affording, par- "reaterthan that of the ticularly in shipping parts.

only of the ready adaptment forishipment or storage, but also permits of the lowering of the frame in order to bring the cover to a position to shade the lights at any desired f 1 05flfiih n may beiobtained forrfive cents each, la y-addressing tlie 'flon niissioner'of' BatentSF c aim; T
